I used to love him in "Then Came Bronson" to the point I actually have two of his albums. Michael Parks on the Johnny Cash show

"Bronson" inspired me to start saving up for my first motorcycle before I even had a license. RIP Mr. Parks.

In the opening credits of Bronson, there is great atmospheric view of San Fransico Bay Bridge. As a younger person, I dreamed riding a motorbike over that bridge.
